INGREDIENTS (measuring cup used, 1 cup = 250 ml)
4-5 idli pieces or as required
Chaat masala or pav bhaji masala or red chilli powder or idli podi as required
Salt as required
Oil to deep fry or shallow fry the idlis
Instructions
Cut the refrigerated or day old idlis into fingers, as shown below.
Heat oil in a kadi or pan till medium hot. Add the idli fingers and deep fry till light golden or slightly more.
Ideally, the fried idli pieces should be crisp from outside and soft from inside. You can also pan fry or shallow fry them.
Remove the smaller pieces first as they will get fried quickly. Drain the fried idlis on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Sprinkle either red chilli powder or pav bhaji masala or chaat masala or idli podi on top and some salt. Just mix well so that masala coated evenly.
Serve the idli fry with sambar or coconut chutney or tomato sauce.
